I used Plex for my home media for almost a year, then it stopped playing nice for reasons I gave up on diagnosing. While looking at alternatives, I found Jellyfin which is much more responsive, IMO, and the UI is much nicer as well.

It gets relegated to playing Fraggle Rock and Bluey on repeat for my kiddo these days, but I am absolutely in love with the software.

What are some other FOSS gems that are a better experience UX/UI-wise than their proprietary counterparts?

EDIT: Autocorrect turned something into "smaller" instead of what I meant it to be when I wrote this post, and I can't remember what I meant for it to say so it got axed instead.

Pandoc. I'm not even sure there is a decent alternative.

Every time someone mentions Pandoc, I like to mention that the author has created a new markup language called djot. Its very nice.

haha no surely not. It can now even convert Typst docs to html.

It supports Typst now? But it is basically a programming language

Well it is also a document format just like .tex. I think it's called .typ or smth...
